The Day
JD is like this: X says Y did Z. Y says no. X says yes. Friends of X agree with X. Y has no friends. Drugs are bad. Guns are bad. People are bad. Jur0rs are dumb. Lawyers are overworked and sometimes incomprehensible. Dumb jur0rs ask too many questions. Dumb jur0rs think they are Perry Fucking Mason. JD goes too late. People are annoyed. Let’s hope that the preceeding is not illegal. If p=illegal, Cranky goes to jail. Cranky is screwed. The End.
My run tonight is not happening because I just got home 20 minutes ago at 7:15. I’m planning on doing a run tomorrow morning. It’s EXCRUCIATING to have the day be open-ended. If I knew that it wouldn’t be over until 6:45, I could pace myself better.
But today was a little Farmer’s Market outside court, so I was able to eat my grapes and whine while case after case tumbled out. Eight more days.

Yes, but if the glove fits, will you acquit?

Isn’t it amazing that there are actually some people, like me, looking forward to working in the legal field! lol

I remember my Manhattan friend went into jury duty recently all excited and came out hating it. Guess its not quite as intruiging as when its on TV.

The key to success (regarding the open ended day and pacing yourself) is a low bar. Set a low bar (or in this case a very late bar) and then if it is earlier than your expectation, you will be happy. I actually heard setting a low bar is the key to successful blind dates. I married the guy, so it must be true!!
